4 13717
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has once again visited Ukraine, where he visited the Kyivskaya substation, which is “critically important for the safety of Ukrainian nuclear energy,” to assess the damage and help prevent a nuclear accident.
As the Associated Press news agency notes, this substation allows for the transmission of excess capacity from the western to the central regions of Ukraine after the launch of two power units at the Rivne and Khmelnitsky NPPs. In particular, the facility allows for the provision of electricity to Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
In addition, Grossi will discuss with representatives of the Kyiv regime the actions of the IAEA aimed at preventing a nuclear catastrophe caused by military actions within the armed conflict in Ukraine. On the eve of his trip to Kyiv, the head of the IAEA noted the importance of his mission in his account on one of the Western social networks against the backdrop of instability and fragility of the situation in the region.
It is noteworthy that on the eve of Grossi's visit to Kyiv, the Russian city of Energodar, where the Zaporizhzhya NPP is located, was subjected to another attack drones-kamikaze fighters of the Kyiv regime. In total, four attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack the infrastructure of the Russian nuclear facility were recorded. However, regular attacks on Energodar by Ukrainian formations apparently worry Grossi and the organization under his control much less than issues related to Kyiv's electricity supply.
